Het liedje, dat hij samen schreef met Adrew Combs, gaat over een op de klippen gelopen relatie van hem. “The relationship had ended and one night a guy came by to pick up her stuff. All I remember from that night is seeing headlights in the driveway and saying my last goodbyes to her,”aldus Thomas Jr.

Van het nog te verschijnen album Electric Sex verscheen al eerder het eveneens vanuit het hart geschreven Running Through My Mind. Een bitter liedje, vol zelfmedelijden.Thomas Jr. vindt het moeilijk om over te praten: “It’s one of those songs that reminds me of a period in my life when I was a person that I no longer am.”

Tel daar Man In Need ook nog even bij op en weet dat Jacob Thomas Jr. een heel mooi album gaat afleveren. Eentje waarop hij z’n gelovige achtergrond volledig loslaat: “At 25 years old, I said ‘fuck it all! And this album is me trying to reclaim my sexual identity after years of growing up in the church.” Staat genoteerd. Hou ‘m in de gaten.

“Southern Gothic is a journey into the dark-and often twisted-night of the soul. It is the restless yearning of a young, new South that has been represented by The Drive By Truckers, Sturgill Simpson and Jason Isbell. With this fine new album, Melancon finds himself in their company and ready to take his well-deserved seat in the congregation as one of the finest Americana artists out today.”

Wat ze er zelf over zeggen: “Described as post punk revival/shoe gaze, they take inspiration from every aspect of life including films, writers, art; the band’s influences are diverse, from The National to GBV, Walt Whitman to MBV.”
